Istanbul Music and Dinner Cruise

Experience Istanbul's nightlife with this luxury cruise with music and dinner. Sailing for around four hours through the Bosphorus Strait, which connects Europe with Asia, has never been more fun than with this booking. You'll enjoy an evening filled with a varied menu of Turkish dishes, as well as unlimited drinks.

When you arrive at the ship, you will be seated at a table where you can enjoy your dinner. You'll start with a series of cold appetizers typical of the country, such as a thick yoghurt with garlic and dill. From the main courses you can choose fish or meat, served as they do in a country where spices are at the heart of the cuisine.

Vegetarian and gluten intolerant options are also available, although this should be advised at the time of booking. You will also be served unlimited drinks, as well as coffee and tea.

Throughout the tour you will have the opportunity to pass and view different points of interest from the yacht, for example:

• Bosphorus Bridge: At 1,560 metres long, the Bosphorus Bridge was the fourth longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1973 and was the first bridge to link Europe and Asia
• Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge: known as the second Bosphorus Bridge
• Beylerbeyi Palace: you will pass by the cruise ship built between 1861 and 1865 which served as a summer residence and a place to entertain visiting heads of state.

During the cruise, there will be a series of events that will make you want to get up from your table and dance. There will be shows by:

• A Bosphorus folk band with regional Turkish dances,
• A belly dancer
• Mevlevi Sema and Dervishes. I'm sure the name won't ring a bell, but if you see the non-stop gyrating performance, you'll recognise it instantly.
• Sword and Shield Folk Dance
• Live performance by an international DJ
